Entry pipe

What did I do wrong, I actually got a part inletted without a screw-up. The entry pipe goes up by the nose cap, right? ;D

That's right.  If you built the version with the really long ramrod hole.

Hard to believe but I once say a Russian made ca. 1750-70 rifle with about a 42 inch barrel that was stocked in curly maple and had the ramrod inside the stock all the way to about 4 inches from the muzzle. I didn't get to take it apart so I don't know if the hole was drilled all that way or cut from inside the barrel channel.

It has no entry pipe.  :)

I'd leave, I think its the worst thing to inlet and it may be the only thing that drives to build poor boys.  I did one yesterday, and it went as well as it ever does -- which is to say it won't be perfect until the rifle is a year old and I've forgotten about how screwed up it is :).  At least that is how the others went.
